In addition, the TBS basket system allows for an easy change of basket (no glue required!). The synthetic cork handles and ProFit 3D harness straps optimize performance by providing a comfortable grip, reducing hand fatigue, and improving control. The Q4’s versatility lies in that they can be used for either classic or skate skiing on groomed trails. I noticeably used less power after each arm stroke. With a carbon shaft stiffer and lighter than the Swix Q5, the Q4 are carbon composite poles with extraordinary stiffness that allow for maximum power transfer while skiing. Additionally, I found that I could ski farther and over more difficult terrain with no problem.Īfter using them a few times, I’d describe the non collapsible Q4’s strongest qualities as stiff, versatile, and lightweight.

My wrists no longer hurt, and my back didn’t feel strained (because I had the correct posture due to the right poles). Having nordic ski poles the correct length made a world of difference. Part of Swix’s Quantum family that offers poles in multiple performance and price points, the Q4 features a cork urethane grip, 3d ProFit harness strap, and user-friendly TBS basket system. Basically, if you’re in the wrong position, you can’t propel forward.Īfter I realized that the poles needed to be replaced, the first thing I did was find a new pair and was delighted to use the Swix Quantum 4 (Q4) composite mid-range nordic ski poles.

Poling is essential to nordic skiing because they give you the necessary power to move forward in a proper stance and negotiate terrain. What I didn’t know at the time is that in nordic skiing, having the correct ski poles is extremely important. We don’t guarantee that we will receive your returned item.The more we skied, I soon began to realize that my current nordic ski setup (purchased years ago from an REI garage sale) was completely wrong specifically that my ski poles were much too long (I blame myself for buying the package because of the deal I was getting and convincing myself I’d “make it work”).
